Re: 4 abstracts on imetelstat at ASH2017

Some of my observations regarding the 4 abstracts: - impact of imet on MDS disease has been refined, while positive effect on TI and HI is confirmed; - the IMerge paper has been co-authored by 5 JnJ employees and 10 researchers/doctors from various hospitals, of which 7 from Europe and 3 from US (in...

Re: I left this on SA board

Nice post, BP. I share your vision. The things you mention are simple and solid, derived from what we actually know from various publications and telco's. Btw: ESA's only boost red cell production for a while. Or never, because still a large portion of MF and MDS patients don't respond to ESA's (suc...

You're welcome, Ryan!

Indeed, the latest telco seems to tell us that JnJ is closing in on its target and is carefully choosing its gateway to the market. These early biotech tunnels can be long and dangerous, and proper lighting is not always available....

Re: Take aways from today's telco (1 Aug 2017)

another great comment from Hoosier (SA): 1) Contractually, Janssen could've postponed the primary analysis as long as they desired. Thus, by agreeing to the 3Q18 cut-off date, Janssen is showing some consideration / compassion for Geron's position. 2) I suspect Janssen's recent discussions with FDA ...

Re: PR July 31, 2017: Geron Announces Updates to Imetelstat Clinical Development

Second comment from Hoosier on SA today: 1) Our 'good problem to have' within IMbark continues as patients remain alive to the extent they can't assess median overall survival. This has been the source of delay in the IMbark primary analysis and subsequent Continuation Decision. Again, it's a good p...
